Fiamma Lolli’s Summary
I have been a fulltime translator from English and Spanish into Italian since 1988; before that, I worked in Italy, England, USA and Nicaragua as a theatre director and actress, as well as a cultural animateur and trainer with an Italian NGO in psychiatric hospitals and day hospitals. Sometimes I do even write articles for some Italian magazines and newspapers (mainly il manifesto, Carta, Linus, Avvenimenti, Rinascita, Diario). I am a published writer too ("Guida all'isola", "Millelire" series, Stampa Alternativa, Viterbo 1998, and many short stories in reviews and anthologies).
Of all the texts I've translated, the ones I am more proud of are Karl L. Guillen Il tritacarne: una voce dal carcere di Florence, Arizona (The grinder: execution of inocence in Arizona), Multimage, Turin 1999, preface by Massimo Carlotto, and Le reaparecide: sequestrate, torturate, sopravvissute al terrorismo di Stato in Argentina (Ese infierno: conversaciones de cinco mujeres sobrevivientes de la Esma), "Eretica Speciale" series, Stampa Alternativa, Viterbo 2005 - a book I've translated and edited.
Since 2003 I volunteer with Translators for Peace, a site of professional translators and peace activists whose main page and related projects I warmly invite everyone to visit in www.traduttoriperlapace.org .
I deeply believe that translating means building bridges between cultures: therefore, everytime I start a new translation (never mind if it is a brochure or a book), I remember that "Accuracy is not a virtue: is a duty".
